Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Obstetric and Gynecologic care with Dr. Suba:
- What is the difference between an Obstetrician and a Gynecologist?
- An OB/GYN, like Dr. Suba, is a physician trained in both obstetrics and gynecology. A gynecologist specializes in the overall health of the female reproductive system, including annual exams, infections, and contraception. An obstetrician specializes in pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Dr. Suba provides care for women throughout their lives.
- At what age should I (or my daughter) have my first gynecologist visit?
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a first gynecologist visit between the ages of 13 and 15. This first visit is often a conversation to establish a relationship and discuss healthy habits. A pelvic exam is not typically needed unless there is a specific concern or problem.
- I found a lump in my breast. Should I call my OB/GYN?
- Yes. Most breast lumps are benign, but any new lump or change warrants immediate evaluation. Dr. Suba will perform a clinical breast exam and order further imaging, such as a mammogram or ultrasound, if necessary.
- What is the difference between 3D/4D ultrasound and the regular medical ultrasound?
- Standard 2D ultrasound is the primary tool used to assess fetal growth, anatomy, and well-being. 3D/4D ultrasound provides photo-like images for keepsake purposes, but is not typically used for medical diagnosis. It is an optional service.
- What is the HPV vaccine and who should get it?
- The HPV vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine that protects against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts. It's recommended for all preteens (boys and girls) at age 11 or 12, and can be given to young adults as well. This vaccination is important for preventing these potentially serious health issues.
- Do you perform gynecological surgery, like a hysterectomy?
- Yes, Dr. Suba performs a wide range of gynecological surgeries, including hysterectomies, myomectomies, and endometrial ablations. She is skilled in minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, which can result in quicker recovery times.
- I have very painful and heavy periods. Is that normal?
- Experiencing painful and heavy periods is a concern, and it's important to have it evaluated. While some cramping is common, severe pain or heavy bleeding that interferes with your daily life is not normal. Dr. Suba can diagnose the cause, such as endometriosis or fibroids, and discuss treatment options.
- I'm approaching menopause. What kind of care do you provide for this stage?
- Dr. Suba provides comprehensive care for perimenopause and menopause, managing symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. She discusses the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and provides screenings for bone density and heart health.
